: That gun sure has a lot o polys....
: It might be also how it was linked(or whatever its called in ur proggy) to each other.
: Say that u linked all the objects together to form the gun, and you animate it that way. Now to create the base frame u unlink them so its easier to position it. That is a no-no. If u start of a heirarchy(ie. linking) in the model it must maintain that heirarchy including the base frame. Or else the end results when u make it into an md2 kinda looks like ur model. Like what he said the polys get attached to the wrong verts.
That was the problem the hierachy was messed. But now there is no skin it is just all red. I made the model in truespace and exorted it to CAD dxf format. Then I imported that into truespace seperated all objects made the base frame by selecting all objects and exporting then moved them together for the frame01.
I made the skin in QME and then tried it in the game. It looked ok but it was like red with a kind of transparent look.
If you could help I would appreciate it.
Thanx again for your help before.
